Abstract

Due to the increasing progress of context-aware platforms with social networks many works use these platforms with mobile devices. Thus, we expose, in this paper, a survey of some of these works. Knowledge representation in the social networks has a great interest to obtain a set of information with a valuable signification. Therefore, we expose a state-of-the-art about the knowledge extraction using ontologies in social networks. Then, we propose, in this paper, an approach to combine these technologies (context, mobile and ontology) together to have a contextualized ontology helping to assist a mobile user in his information retrieval from the social network. We conclude by giving an idea about our future works.
